Wraps the three AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 go test invocations (catalog parity, coverage matrix, stock render parity) so contributors don't need to recall the env var or exact -run patterns; each test file's own goldenPath constant remains the only source of truth for file location.

Also guard both golden writers against a partially-failed run: AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 now refuses to persist a golden file if any leaf failed to resolve or render, since writing it anyway would silently rebase the comparison baseline onto output that only reflects whichever leaves happened to succeed, masking the very regressions these tests exist to catch.

Summary

Adds a make update-goldens target that wraps the three AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 golden-regeneration test invocations, and guards both golden writers against persisting output from a partially-failed run.

Motivation / Context

Regenerating golden fixtures (catalog parity, coverage matrix, stock render parity) required contributors to recall the AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 env var and the exact -run patterns for each test file. Wrapping these in a single Makefile target removes that friction; each test file's own goldenPath constant remains the only source of truth for file location.

Separately, AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 previously wrote the golden file unconditionally, even if one or more leaves failed to resolve or render. That would silently rebase the comparison baseline onto incomplete output, masking the very regressions these tests exist to catch.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Build/CI/tooling

Component(s) Affected

  • CLI (cmd/aicr, pkg/cli)
  • API server (cmd/aicrd, pkg/server)
  • Recipe engine / data (pkg/recipe)
  • Bundlers (pkg/bundler, pkg/component/*)
  • Collectors / snapshotter (pkg/collector, pkg/snapshotter)
  • Validator (pkg/validator)
  • Core libraries (pkg/errors, pkg/k8s)
  • Docs/examples (docs/, examples/)
  • Other: Makefile (new update-goldens target)

Implementation Notes

update-goldens runs AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 go test -count=1 -run '...' against TestCatalogParityGolden/TestCoverageGoldenMatrix (pkg/recipe) and TestStockRenderParityGolden (pkg/bundler) with GOFLAGS="-mod=readonly".

Both golden-writer tests now check t.Failed() before writing: if any leaf failed to resolve/render earlier in the same test run, the writer calls t.Fatal instead of persisting a golden built from only the leaves that happened to succeed. This is a fail-closed guard, not a functional behavior change for a fully-passing run.

Testing

golangci-lint run -c .golangci.yaml ./pkg/recipe/... ./pkg/bundler/...
go test -race -v ./pkg/recipe/... -run 'TestCatalogParityGolden|TestCoverageGoldenMatrix'
go test -race -v ./pkg/bundler/ -run 'TestStockRenderParityGolden'
make update-goldens

Full make qualify isn't warranted for this change (Makefile target + a fail-safe guard in two existing tests, no new production code path). Ran the mandatory Go lint gate on both touched packages (0 issues), the affected golden tests directly (both PASS), and exercised the new update-goldens target itself end-to-end — it regenerated all three goldens with zero diff against the committed baseline, confirming the target works and the new guard doesn't false-trip on a healthy run.

Risk Assessment

  • Low — Isolated change, well-tested, easy to revert

Rollout notes: N/A — dev-tooling only; no production code path changes. The only behavior change is that an already-broken AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 run (one with a failing leaf) now fails loudly instead of silently writing a bad baseline.

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (make test with -race)
  • Linter passes (make lint)
  • I did not skip/disable tests to make CI green
  • I added/updated tests for new functionality
  • I updated docs if user-facing behavior changed
  • Changes follow existing patterns in the codebase
  • Commits are cryptographically signed (git commit -S)

Wraps the three AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 go test invocations (catalog parity,
coverage matrix, stock render parity) so contributors don't need to

Also guard both golden writers against a partially-failed run:

failed to resolve or render, since writing it anyway would silently

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added an update-goldens Make target for catalog, coverage, and render parity fixtures. Golden regeneration now stops before writing when resolution, rendering, or projection classification failures occur.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0f93d

This change adds a contributor-only golden regeneration target and prevents incomplete golden files from being written; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Comment thread Makefile
The sibling golden-writer tests (TestCatalogParityGolden,
TestStockRenderParityGolden) collect per-leaf failures with t.Errorf and
continue, so they need a t.Failed() check before writing to avoid
persisting a golden built from only the leaves that happened to
succeed. TestCoverageGoldenMatrix's classify() instead uses t.Fatalf on
an unexpected error, which halts the whole test immediately, so today
it can never reach the write step in a failed state. Add the same
guard anyway for consistency with the other two writers and to avoid
relying on that Fatalf-vs-Errorf distinction as an implicit safety net
if classify() is ever loosened to collect multiple failures like its
siblings do.
